Last night, Em and Anna both slept in their beds all night w/out getting up. I did sleep with Allie b/c she was wheezy - she asked and I wanted to keep an eye on her. When they're sick/not feeling well, I sleep better if I'm with them - otherwise my anxiety takes over.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856102708963900512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-10577405048865235512014-04-03T13:58:34.887-04:002014-04-03T13:58:34.887-04:00There has to be a way to get these girls sleeping....There has to be a way to get these girls sleeping. I agree with the previous post... You seem like an amazing mom and I love your honestly and blog. I am cheering for you and I want you to get some sleep :)<br />I know it seems hard to set boundaries but there has to be a better way- for your own survival and sanity. (This coming from the mom who lays with her child every single night until she falls asleep- and I have 2 other children to get to bed after that... So I know it's easier said than done.). I just want good things for you- can you set more boundaries or try something new? I know it must be uncomfortable getting advice from strangers but us mamas need to stick together and help each other!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707332630639933436.post-88276958639557851462014-04-03T05:38:11.445-04:002014-04-03T05:38:11.445-04:00Hi Sarah.

I am sure you don't need / want this unsolicited advice, but I cannot help myself. <br /><br />From what you describe about your girls' sleep, it sounds very disruptive and unsettling for them, as well as you and your husband. By not establishing boundaries at night you may be undermining your girls' confidence and ability to self sooth, which they will need as they continue to grow. I know how comforting it can be for us as adults to give children whatever they ask for, but I also believe it is our job to look at what they need as well. <br /><br />You appear to be beyond an amazing mother, I just couldn't help but mention this to you, least of all because you must be permanently exhausted.
